I have an org beamer file with the following header since I generally prefer top-alignment for frames:
#+latex_class_options: [aspectratio=169,t,presentation,bigger,fleqn] I have some columns where I want vertically centered text, and am not sure how to pass the option to \columns{} instead of an individual \column{}. Worg says this(http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/ox-beamer.html): "All contiguous environments are automatically wrapped in a columns environment, although it can be forced at any point by setting the BEAMER_env property to columns. This might be handy if you want to pass special options." But where does that go? I have this: * Test ** Col1 :BMCOL: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :END: - blah - blah - blah ** Col2 :BMCOL: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :END: - blah - blah - blah I want this (note the [c] to override my document-wide [t] option): \begin{frame}[label={sec:orgheadline1}]{Test} \begin{columns}[c] \begin{column}{0.5\columnwidth} \begin{itemize} \item blah \item blah \item blah \end{itemize} \end{column} \begin{column}{0.5\columnwidth} \begin{itemize} \item blah \item blah \item blah \end{itemize} \end{column} \end{columns} \end{frame} \end{document} But if I add =:beamer_env: columns= to both subheadlines, I get each in it's own \begin/end{columns} environment, which is not what I want. I just need a single columns env, with the [c] option passed, that encompasses both individual column environments. John
